LeBron James will become the first NBA player to reach 23 seasons as Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry join him in the largest group with 20-plus seasons ever.

- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the club's first member, with modern entrants including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, Jamal Crawford and Udonis Haslem.
